Editorial Reviews

"This audiobook describes what we've all suspected- that it isn't just America in crisis, but the American character.  The good news is that Connors, Smith, and Hickman also describe the 'yellow brick road' we must follow to rebuild the dominant qualities required to achieve success. It uses masterful illustrations, powerful language and keen insight to continue the quest toward creating more accountable, adaptable work cultures."
